Does FC's have any plans regarding OptiFine compatibility?

[FlyingGarlic]

Hi folks,

From reading lots of messages I am understanding that BTW, since around 3.20, is not compatible with with OptiFine. I have been looking around to see if there is any information directly from FC regarding this. Does anyone know anything about FC's thoughts on compatibility with OptiFine?

I understand that FC doesn't want to worry about other mods, but this one mod is probably the most important one to many folks as it allows MC to run on older slower machines.

One thing I came across was a suggestion that OptiFine wasn't compatible with McForge.
Anything know anything about this?
Does this suggest that once BTW moves away from McForge that it might work with OptiFine?

Also does anyone know what FC's time frame is for when he expects to completely leave McForge behind?

Thanks!

There's a Forge-compatible version of OptiFine, and people that use it say that it's still compatible with BTW.

No, but I can confirm that Optifine will be 100% incompatible when he does. Right now, it sort of works, but that's almost certainly going to change if he completely rewrites the piece of code responsible.

Which will suck. A lot.

We'll cross that bridge when the time comes.

I'm actually tempted to bring it up in the turtle forum. Optifine incompatibility doesn't sound like something that's a good idea, even if it doesn't matter for me, personally.

Don't sweat it man, I am aware and already have plans in that regard.

I don't see Optifine compatibility becoming an issue.

Oh good, that's done then :)

Flowerchild, (always) being one step ahead of us. :D

great thanks FC and all.
In the meantime I'll take a look and make sure I'm using the mcForge compatible version.

I have yet to have an issue with installing optifine with BTW, you just have to make sure it is the last thing to be installed and it will work fine.

Yah. That is 100% right.
